About the author

Dr Hongbin Yang is now working as an algorithm scientist in Chemical.ai, and leading a team developing algorithms for retrosynthesis and lab automation since 2021.

After completing a BSc at East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) in Shanghai, Hongbin continued his study at ECUST for a PhD titled In Silico Prediction of Chemical ADMET Properties via Statistics and Machine Learning Methods, during which Hongbin focused on structural alerts and QSAR techniques for toxicity prediction and toxicology research. He started his post-doctoral research project on computational toxicology in November 2019. Academic mentorship was provided by Dr Andreas Bender from University of Cambridge and additionally there was access to industry knowledge and resources of AstraZeneca and GSK.
